Columbia University

Core NYCEP faculty at Columbia University are based in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology (E3B), which emphasizes a multi-disciplinary perspective on the earth's declining biodiversity, integrating understanding from relevant fields in biology with insights from relevant fields in the social sciences. Doctoral students in the E3B Evolutionary Primatology track participate in the NYCEP program. Core faculty advise students and conduct research in primate behavior and ecology, primate population genetics, and conservation biology.
